Participant for a Personal Fundraising page does not have a thermometer on their page

When participants register for your event using the Personal Fundraising module, they're required to fill in a goal for the amount they'd like to raise. If you manually register a participant for the event, you will also be prompted to fill in person's goal for how much they'd like to raise. In the event that they fill in their goal as $0, they will not show a thermometer on their participant page for the event. Donors can still give money to this person's page, but it will not be counted toward a goal. We can manually add a goal to a participant's page in eTapestry.
